view obama as far out of step with public opinion. and note when you ask people a poll question committees for smaller government with fewer services, or larger government with more services come your kind of killing people the benefit of larger government. you are not telling them the benefit of smaller government. so if you we phrase the question of little more fairly, do you support smaller government with fewer services and lower taxes, or larger government with more services and higher taxes, you get about another 10 points. so instead of 60%, you get almost 70% say i prefer the one with fewer services and lower taxes. so what i think that means is republicans haven't been very good at defining it. but there is a constituency in america still of people who would not call themselves libertarian and probably wouldn't kill themselves liberal or classical liberal. that they basically do believe in smaller government and social tolerance. and either party could go after that constituency which is a swing constituency. more of the work
